The Fine Line Between Halloween Prank and All-Season Lawn Ornament

Apparently, the neighbors aren't too pleased with the gentleman in Los Angeles who decorated the front yard of his home for Halloween to look like the scene of a horrific plane crash.

According to CBS 8:

A shocking Halloween display is creating some extreme reactions in one Los Angeles-area neighborhood.

The display features a fake plane crash so realistic even the police were fooled.

"It caught my eye. I thought a plane had crashed, and when I spoke to the owner he advised me that he was setting up a Halloween display," said Greg Andrachick with the Los Angeles Police Department.

The homeowner is an aircraft mechanic in training and the parts are from a real Gulfstream jet.

Of course, like orange juice for breakfast, Telstar Logistics believes that simulated plane wrecks aren't just for Halloween anymore.

That's why we've got one on display 365 days a year on the grounds behind our Global Headquarters. Moreover, we generally prefer call it a "lawn ornament."

Like one of the comments alluded to...Next time I hear a REAL plane crashing in that guy's yard...I'll just think he's playing another joke and I'll go on about my business. Cry wolf and you know the rest...
